Zone Conference Day 2
at Bedfordview
On Wednesday March 11th, we got up early, tried to beat the Johannesburg early morning commute and get to Bedfordview to greet the Vaal, Benoni, Bedfordview Zones for an 8 am start time.
It is a big effort for all the missionaries to negotiate traffic and be there on time for the pre-session. This pre-session is a talk by President Uchtdorf that we heard at the mission President Seminar last June.
This talk primes the Elders for the sessions that begin at 9 am.

We have a great group of Elders that gathered together. This was a great day at Bedfordview.
Started our day in the chapel with an opening session with President Dunn. He discussed a great case study called Sister Susan Fulcher. |
Everyone enjoyed this topic as it gave many ideas on how to work more closely and positively with members. President Dunn is a great facilitator and he makes presentations run so smoothly.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures…glad we could be at this conference.
ReplyDeleteWhat an immense undertaking - but I am sure that the missionaries had their batteries recharged and their lamps filled! On behalf of our son, thank you. It does my heart good to see his smiling face.
